Combine that outcome with this at the upcoming TPAC: -

Hello All,

The registration for TPAC 2016 is now open - relevant information is
provided in the email attachment below.  There will not be a stand-alone
meeting for the Geolocation Working Group, but there will likely be a joint
meeting between the Geo WG and the Devices and Sensors (DAS) WG.  This
should be confirmed soon, and will take place during the DAS WG's allocated
meeting time (Sep. 19-20).

Thanks,

-Giri Mandyam, Geolocation Working Group Chair

An the scene is set for a ServiceWorker.TravelManager.subscribe() outcome
or, more likely, a generic sensor.AddListener(filterOptions). Either way
these are exciting times indeed. Good Luck!
